A few hours after I saw this movie today, I kept trying to remember, "what did I do today?" Oh yeah! I saw a movie! lol It was literally that forgettable, left almost no impression on me whatsoever. I say that to warn you--if you see this movie, LOWER your expectations first, else you will be wholly disappointed and want your $8.50 back afterwards.
As others have stated, the title has almost zero to do with the movie and the previews are maybe among the most misleading I've ever seen. Aniston's and Eckhart's romance is not even established as "love" per se as it doesn't yet reach that point in the movie, and beyond that, their interaction is really secondary to the whole scheme of the movie! The movie is more about people getting over bereavement than anything else.
The one plus I'll give is that there is some character depth with the Eckhart character, ie he's not just superman, his weak side is revealed, which is somewhat refreshing. But this alone is not enough to save this movie.
The word "dud" was made for movies like this. There's no better word to describe how you will feel during and after watching it. Save your money and catch this one on a sleep Sunday afternoon when it comes to HBO.
